Thanks, that makes sense, with the grain on the pictures also called noise you don't always know. lol

I shoot with my High ISO NR on High and Long Exposure NR on. If I still have noise I clean it up with PP Software. Unless noise and grain are the objective. Hope this helps.

I turn off my in-camera NR because I always use NIK's define 2 in my Lightroom PP. I believe the in-camera NR adds to the time it takes to process each image as they are being taken....I may be wrong and defer to more knowledgeable folks...

Good point. Everything contributes to the in-camera speed of processing - especially when your raw pix are 74mb. If I am not in a hurry I like the extra NR. LR and NIK both have great NR. In post pressing I do NR before any clarity or sharpening.

Exactly... Some cameras create so much noise (sound) it would scare an Elephant away...

Got the noise part. Getting into position can also sound like a herd of elephants. And then there is human scent. Especially if you like after shave etc.

I was told by a camera/lens repairman to always turn it off when not in use, because if dropped, etc it greatly increased the damage to the lens.My prob. is then remembering to turn it back on when I am using it..

Good point. That makes sense. I had mine off for something a month ago and forgot to turn it back on. When I looked at the pix in a monitor in the field I had to do some re-shooting. I am guessing if I drop a camera, I have bigger problems to worry about. However, if it is swinging around my neck it may hit something and screw up a lens.

Correct. Below is from page 154 of the D5100 manual.
"If On is selected, photographs taken at shutter speeds slower than 1 s will be processed to reduce noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog), increasing the time required to record images by roughly 1.5 to 2 times. During processing, lm will blink in the viewfinder and pictures can not be taken (if the camera is turned off
before processing is complete, the picture will be saved but noise reduction will not be performed)."

The benefits of noise reduction is you can shoot with high iso in low light condition with less noise. But at the same time you may loss the detail of subject.

Ha, that reminded me of when, many years ago, a friend and I were trying to photograph a fairly rare bird that was migrating thru. After waiting for an hour or so, the birds finally landed nearby. My friend got of a couple of quick shots with his modern (quiet) SLR, then I fired one with my old Pentax KX and Vivitar 283 flash, full power. It might as well have been a 20 gauge going off. The birds took off and never came back. Very embarassing.
